Ayden has some of the sweetest feet in the state of Michigan. His mix of speed and footwork is so impressive. His ability to jump cut and hit his top-end speed gave the defense some problems, especially in the redzone. His vision and acceleration allowed him to find the smallest gaps and exploit them. He outran some angles and was able to stop and go at will. Extremely impressive day as his Lumen Christi squad heads into the playoffs as the D6 favorite. The next round of rankings will see a big-time surge for Ayden.

It only took 16 touches for Ayden to eclipse the 200 yard mark on the night, with 3 of them going for touchdowns. I was on site as the standout sophomore ripped off big run after big run. The FGR defense had absolutely no answer for his track speed and elite vision. He saw blocks develop and was able to adjust and attack on the fly. I was really impressed with the versatility as well, getting it done both between the tackles and winning with speed on the outside. He reminds me of the elite RB they had just a few years ago Kadale Williams, who is now at Toledo. Outstanding performance for the star 2029.

Lumen Christi’s most promising young ATH. Of course, when I see a game-breaking ATH for Lumen, I think of KaDale Williams.

Ayden is a similar player to KaDale. Patient runner, quick to hit top speed, and is showing quite a bit of promise with his contact balance. His power and contact balance aren’t quite there with D1 prospects yet, but it’s on its way. Ayden does a great job staying balanced through arm tackles, and has moments where he’s able to fully absorb hits without giving up much momentum. Right now, Ayden is an excellent running back in the D6 bracket. In a few years, I expect Ayden to develop into a D1 guy- that’s how much I like his tape.
